Grabbed one of these for my dad (Gigabyte G1), building his PC. At the time, there were no decent 480's on the market and the price vs. was about the same.

He's moved from a MSI Twin Frozr III 660. The new card is significantly longer, massively so! Also changes colour a lot, which is redundant once the case is closed I suppose.

Got his favourite, Skyrim installed and whacked every setting to max at 1080p. It runs just perfectly and he's noticed lots of graphical improvements, which should keep him happy. The Nvidia control panel actually suggested 4k supersampling for resolution but I thought I'd just keep it simple.

Fingers crossed, this should keep him sorted just fine for the time being and for Skyrim Remastered when it comes.

Pics please for TROH.

Depends on the games you play.

The 1070 is worth saving for as it is a nice bump in performance and can also do SLI.

Having said that I am using one of my 1060s at the moment and was playing Civ6 maxed out @2160p.

Having said that there are a lot games that will make a 1060 struggle at 2160p even with lower settings.

Here is my little FE 1060 @stock running Civ6 maxed out on the in game benchmark @2160p.

Spoiler

If you convert the frametime score to fps it is just under 50fps.

Having said that if I try the same on GOW4 I only get about 13 or 14fps.

Next part of my GPU merry go round, the MSI 1060 6GB Armor! (Couldn't really stretch to a GTX 1070 in the end).

So far so good though, nice and quiet and very cool! Surprised there's not more 1060 users on this forum, the RX 480 seems the favoured card and having owned both I'm not sure why.

Hi, nice to find a 1060 group.

Which 1060 do you have there please.
